Questionable policy on personal information

by wendykilowatt

I took in 2 pairs of shoes today to see if they would buy them. Before they will even tell you if they will consider your item they require you to provide full name, address, phone number & drivers license. In today’s age of rampant identify theft I see no reason a company would log such personal data before saying if they were interested. I do understand keeping records of how much someone brings in, but requiring a DL number to be logged in their system before they will express interest at all is suspect & target for identity theft hackers.

I'd rate lower if I could, but keeps defaulting to 4 stars!!

• Pros: nope
• Cons: retain personal data

Pretty picky when you don't take Juicy Coutour or True Religion

by starrynite55

I have the same complaint as others here, I brought in a box of less than a year old clothes my sister gave to me to sell. Some Jeans she paid 150+ for and all top name brands in like new condition. They said they were outdated and didn't take anything. The things I did see on the racks were pretty cheap looking, I am sure any teen would LOVE to have a Juicy tank top or True Religion jeans! They must not know their styles or brand names. I found a consignment botique downtown that will be perfect for the clothes, I'm glad now they didn't take them.

• Pros: can't think of any
• Cons: not knowledgable about brand names or style

Not all teens are skinny

by jswartz84

I went to this second hand store because I had some nice clothes that i cant wear anymore so I thought this would be a great place to bring it to and to get cash for. My clothes are not cheap by far. When I went in they were nice. But as I was walking around waiting for them to look at my clothes I realized that this store is for skinny mini teens. Now if I recall when I was a teen, not every one was a skinny mini and wore tiny clothes looking like tramps. My clothes I brought in were size 14/16 but not teen sizes. Right away I felt I should take my stuff and go somewhere else. Before that happen she called me over to let me know they couldnt take any of the clothes because they were not sized right. I proceeded to let the two behind the counter know that not all teen girls are skinny mini blond bimbos, that there are girls that are 14/16 sizes that want to dress nice, but cant because they cannot afford to wear nice clothes. What the heck!!! Thats just crazy.

• Pros: clothes being there
• Cons: not enough sizes
